@binti, which kind of development are you looking at? maybe i can refer you to an architectural firm that caters for the type of building you require. there are specific types of projects that we dont undertake . its not all type of projects that we usually automatically carry out. if some are not within our type, especially in regards to size, we will gladly refer you to others that can undertake it.

also , our fees are fixed at 6% of construction cost, without negotiation, just in case you decide to work with us.

@popat, construction industry is usually quite capital intensive and very private. i know how serious clientele developers search and hire consultants. no one serious would hire their consultants this way. the highest chances is that @binti's project is not within the scopes of works that i would like to undertake. i have been in this industry for long to understand how serious clientele hold project privacy issues and also source for consultants.
After going through @binti's recent post, just like i had predicted, her project is too small. @binti, call me on 0721410684 i refer you to someone who can help you on your project.

I intend to construct a simple house along the Kikuyu Wangige road.

Which place is the most convenient for getting the construction stones?

Is it Ngong(And where exactly in Ngong) or is it Ndarugu?

I appreaciate any info i'd get on this since i have very little experience in construction.

@poundfoolish, its not so much as to do with size but the seriousness and ability to comprehend how construction industry works that matters. size of project is just the easiest way to ward off unserious people and save time. @binti is confusing consultancy with construction contracting and as he/she says, they are trully inexperienced in construction, which i would not like to take them up as my client .

To avoid back and forth responses.Its better a4architech posts some of his projects and this will pyschologically prepare whoever may think of engaging you.
For example Multiple Hauliers /Coast Hauliers or MCBC have a gallery of cargo /haulage indicating what they have moved from point a to b ,and from that automatically i know i would not approach them to haul for me a box of tomatoes from Nyahururu to MSA.

@gachie, i like and enjoy technical interactions n debates here. I would not encourage people to contact me for services from here apart from the occasional free advice. Construction developers know how, where and when to contact me and this is certainly not through such a forum.

when we were starting out in the industry, i used to wonder why older architects shunned individual residential projects. i used to find this kind of snobbish. many years down the line, i find myself in their shoes. after a few years in the industry, its usually not worth the hustle to take up individual residences. its a good way to ensure the younger architects starting out also get clientele.

Heh! Who knew having a small project or being inexperienced on a matter meant that one is not serious? I am sure @binti is very serious about building her /his small residential house.
